Separation and divorce could be the highest or second highest expense paid in your lifetime.
Forty to fifty percent of marriages (legal and common-law) end in divorce. It’s a common problem that affects North American families. There are more than 800,000 divorces plus hundreds of thousands of common-law separations each year. Statistically, approximately 40 million North American parents and children are affected. Financial responsibilities for children can continue into their 20’s. The amount of unpaid Child Support and Spousal Support / Alimony now totals more than $30 billion!
Divorce proceedings often take years, especially in families with poor communication. Some divorces cost well over $50,000 to $100,000 or more. Cooperatively working together helps reduce anxiety, improves childrens’ self-esteem, enhances school performance, nurtures friendly relationships with other children, allows parents to move forward with their own lives and considerably reduces financial expenses. This joint cooperation paves the way for a much smoother legal process and replaces frustration with optimism.
